Schneider Electric (Erie) AH13A02A Actuator Motor
The Schneider Electric (Erie) AH13A02A PopTop Actuator is a professional-grade solution designed for high-performance hydronic control in HVAC zone valve systems. Engineered for a 24Vac power supply, this two-position motor features a reliable spring return mechanism that ensures a fail-safe, normally closed position upon loss of power. As a high close-off (HCO) actuator, it is purpose-built to handle higher differential pressures across the valve seat, providing positive shut-off in demanding heating and cooling applications.
This unit streamlines field service with its signature PopTop design, allowing for tool-free attachment or removal from the valve body without breaking the hydronic seal. The integrated auxiliary end switch provides critical status feedback for boiler or pump sequencing, while the 18" wire leads offer ample length for clean terminal connections. With a focus on longevity, the hysteresis synchronous motor provides consistent timing and torque, making it a drop-in replacement for existing Erie zone valve motors in terminal units and air handlers.
Key Benefits for Contractors:- High Close-Off Performance: Engineered for superior pressure handling compared to standard general-purpose actuators.
- Tool-Free Installation: The PopTop mounting system enables rapid replacement while the valve remains in-line.
- Fail-Safe Logic: Mechanical spring return ensures the system defaults to a normally closed state.
- Integrated End Switch: Simplifies system wiring by providing direct feedback for circulator and burner control.
- Durable Construction: Features a stainless steel base plate and aluminum cover for industrial-grade resilience.
Can the AH13A02A be used in steam applications?
Yes, as part of the AH series, this actuator is rated for high-temperature service and is compatible with 15 psig steam when paired with the appropriate VS series valve body.
Does this actuator include a manual override?
Yes, this normally closed model includes a manual operating lever to bypass the motor for system filling or emergency operation.
Is the internal end switch replaceable?
No, the end switch is an integrated component of the switch assembly; if the switch fails, the entire actuator head must be replaced to maintain safe operation.
